While I love the layers and materials of fall fashion, there’s nothing like fresh spring trends. Etherial fabrics; soft colors; breezy shapes; it’s a transition that’s a welcomed one, all over the country. (Even in sunny Southern California, am I right?) Daily light lingers longer and temperatures are inching higher, which means it’s time for all the skirts, all the shorts, all the sandals, and Continue Reading

Ever heard of a capsule wardrobe? For some reason, it’s something I’m just learning about. Yet, upon some research, I discovered that the term was coined back in the 1970s by London boutique owner Susie Faux. The purpose? To cultivate a wardrobe of timeless pieces that can be supplemented with seasonal (or more trendy) items. I love the idea. In fact, I think I’ve subconsciously done this over the Continue Reading

I love, love, love when a new clothing store comes to Pasadena—especially one I’ve never set foot in. This one? Comes from New York. And while their shop in Old Pasadena is only the second store to open in California (the first is on Larchmont in Los Angeles), you’ve probably seen their items before. Where? On the racks of Anthropologie.
Yes!
I was perusing Anthropologie online and Continue Reading

Here’s to cleansing in the new year—and I’m not talking about juice diets. I’m talking instead about a wardrobe purge. To me, this is the best kind of cleanse. To sort through clothing, shoes, and accessories I haven’t worn in years. To let go of items that don’t fit well; never fitted well; or go with anything else in my closet. To save only the pieces I love and love on me. And then? Give the Continue Reading

What is it about New Year’s Eve that makes us want to wear all the fun, fancy things? Maybe it’s the excitement of a new year dawning; or the eagerness to leave the past behind. Whatever it is, it’s a night to layer those statement necklaces; to mix tulle with sequins; glitzy heels with blingy jewels; that LBD with a bold red lip. Rules, begone. The only one to follow—have fun.
Typically, Continue Reading

For some reason, I tend to look for new trends only when seasons change. Once we’re well into a season, I somehow believe new trends cease. However, according to several articles from The Wall Street Journal, trends—like the temperatures—are on the rise as we speak.
First up? The peek-a-boo back look. “Skin-baring cutouts and low dips are anything but backward—and you can even wear some of the Continue Reading

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “Dress for the job you want, not for the job you have.” Right? Which means what you wear at work is important. A first impression, no doubt. A peek into who you are, how you work, and what you stand for. You might doubt me, wondering if pieces of clothing can portray that much about a person. But, according to managing parter of Q Social Media Ltd. LaQuishe Continue Reading

Sometimes a man wants to dress like a woman. CASA VALENTINA, the play currently at the Pasadena Playhouse, talks about an inconspicuous bungalow colony nestled in the Catskills that allows men to do just that. CASA VALENTINA was written by Harvey Fierstein and was nominated for a Tony Award in 2014. At the Playhouse it is directed by Emmy Award winner David Lee (NBC’s Frazier).
Set in 1962, Continue Reading
